>Why is chapter 2 always the best?
It's supposed to a murder that's sort of "selfless," done out of some responsibility to another more than anything else, so it tends to be more tragic and emotional. It's only the best in DR1 though.
>Why is chapter 3 always the worst?
Double murders are forced in to thin out the cast and only the first game bothered to properly justify why two people are killed.

In 2 and 3 it's just "they walked in on me so I killed them" which is pretty much the most boring way possible to kill off a character in this kind of game.

Going in order is mandatory
DR1 -> DR2 -> Ultra Despair Girls -> DR3 -> V3
Ultra Despair Girls is a third-person-shooter spinoff that takes place between DR1 and DR2, giving a lot of extra details on both along with general worldbuilding of the setting outside of the killing games. It's not strictly necessary but it's more than worthwhile.
DR3 is an anime that's supposed to serve as a "grand finale" to the whole Hope's Peak Academy / Hope vs Despair storyline but it's kind of a clusterfuck so nobody would really blame you if you just ignored it and moved on to V3.
V3 is a mystery game in the same style as DR1 and DR2, but with a mostly different setting and a theme of "Truth and Lies" more than "Hope and Despair". It still expects you to have played the prior games though, you really shouldn't play it on its own.

Probably 2-4 if you don't remember the one line about the soundproof rooms, but even then 90% of the Trial is figuring out how the killer did it more than who they are.

2-5's investigation walks you through the case in a pretty straightforward way, it's only technically unsolvable since there's no way to actually know whodunnit.

I didn't like 1 and 2's bonus games, but I've wasted a stupid amount of time on talent development plan and the dungeon.

I consider it Peak Danganronpa

The "despair" factor really is off the charts for that one. Everybody is slowly starving to death and losing their minds. The building is a fucking nightmare of weird maze-like architecture and the bright neon colors everywhere start to wear on you.

Nagito getting the big advantage for daring the russian roulette room, and the secret of how the building really fits together.

The actual murder itself was pretty easy to solve if you caught the key clue earlier that one specific room is soundproof, and Gundham can command his animals to press buttons but figuring out just exactly how it occurred was great

M A H O U J A

>What's an elevator
That entire case had the potential to be good, but it was shit because of Hajime being actually retarded and Gundham being a shit character. Nagito saved the entire case.

shut the fuck up

Everybody was acting a little retarded because by the time of they trial they hadn't eaten in like 3 days

Fuck you.
Makes sense, but doesn't do shit for me as a player because it just makes the characters more intolerable during a vital period for their survival. Nagito at least managed to keep his shit together, and his banter was good.

He didn't even really fuck up, it was pure bad luck that he got caught out. If he had made it back to bed before the alarm went off nobody would have suspected him, I don't think there was any evidence left implicating him.

Might as well just read a plot synopsis or watch the cutscenes on youtube then and save yourself a lot of time. At least the mainline games have the trials to make playing it yourself worthwhile.

Okay.

The only chapter 3 I liked was the one from DGR1. 2 and V3 felt shit because they had the motivation thrown in at literally the last second of the trial and so you had no way of knowing what it would be or have any build up time to understand it. It's just thrown in at the last second. That said I do love Kiyo for taking out the student council and Tenko even though she looked like she was becoming less annoying. I don't mind the schizo sister stuff, I just think it's weak as shit and there should have been a different motivation.

Celeste legit has the most relatable motive in the entire series. "Fuck you guys, I hate being stuck here with you so Imma try and escape".

I agree, probably my favorite case. I also liked the whole idea of Gundham sacrificing himself for the greater good but just not wanting to admit it. Also, he's the only one who actually gets to go to heaven, which I think might be because he kills a robot instead of a person?

don't listen to anyone telling you UDG or the anime are important, they really aren't (UDG definitely isn't bad tho, and the anime is a good/fun kind of trainwreck)

The build up to the body in 2-2 is great because in hindsight it's so obviously establishing a bunch of details about the crime, even down to specific times, but it goes on for so long and there's so much fanservice that it still catches you off guard when the chime plays.

t. Celesteshitter
Gundham had an actually good motive and logistics behind it, as did Sakura. Far better than double murdering solely out of self-interest and greed.

I think pretty much every chapter has the murder happen in a place that was introduced earlier in the chapter. 1-4's an exception, though, as most of the action takes place in the rec room that was opened up in Chapter 3.

You need to play them in order. Don't watch any anime stuff, just play the games. Also, UDG is great and anyone who tells you otherwise is retarded.

Would you sign up to be a contestant if DR was real?

Man 2-5 could only have been improved if there were honk sounds everytime Nagito maimed himself.

No because i would probably be one of the first people to die or I'd be boring for the entire game because i wouldn't interact with people

Supreme Softness
Perfect Plumpness
Apex Adiposity

It's not like incredibly obvious deathflags are uncommon in this series. In Chapter 4 of 2 practically every word out of Nekomaru's goddamn mouth is "Look everyone, I'm gonna be the victim of this chapter!"

>i wouldn't interact with people
You'd probably end up being a victim then
Dangerous to be alone by yourself all the time

I will kill 3 people in a row with different method each and only show a hint during the third murder which I can't get punished for

My favorites were the ones that just seemed to happen completely out of nowhere. A lot were like that but only a few really surprised me, 2-2 probably the most- a lot of body discoveries in 2 were great, whereas I don't think they felt as bad to me in the other games. 3-4 also had that great sense of uneasiness where you know something was wrong but didn't know what.

Also I don't think Yasuhiro had many significant interactions with the others.

More than any other Chapter there was an established feeling of "SOMEBODY has to die soon." I think it's even the first/only body discovery cutscene where they don't play that awful noise, and the camerawork is a simple slow descent to bring the body in view instead of the usual jerky work. Nobody's particularly shocked to find him either even though Hajime comments how sudden it is, because they're all so exhausted. It only provokes a big reaction from Akane.

Every killing in DR1 happened because someone was dumb enough to trust another person and go out at night

game?

Here's a question - which EXECUTION is the best?

I've always felt that Leon, the very first one, being dragged away by that chain and pelted to death with baseballs was the best one and the series made them too comedic after that.

The joke is they are all in computer simulation, and by processing all the routes Sara will save everyone and become the next Mafia boss.

i remember feeling a little butthurt when i realized only makoto followed the dont go out at night rule after case 3. all these losers were out walking around the whole fucking time and we couldnt? its bullshit.

Leon's a classic, and I like Kaede's because it's both ridiculous and really brutal, they're both very solid first executions. On that note, Teruteru's was mostly pretty lame but the first thirty seconds were cool as fuck.

You know when Class 77 first woke up from the simulation it was probably pretty awkward considering that a third of them murdered another third.

Yeah, I never had a problem with really any execution, but Leon's really made you go "Damn..didn't know it was gonna be that kinda shit..."

Kaede imo. Nothing comes close.
>slow death unlike Chiaki or Celeste
>realistic since everyone can imagine how horrible being asphyxiated over and over again before you can even recover feels
>she was actually a nice person

Not with Hajime's chadness and Izuru's capabilities

I wonder if there'd be some kind of extreme stockholm syndrome where people who murdered/were murdered in the simulation become fascinated by each other in real life and want to fuck

>>she was actually a nice person
You sure about that one, chief?

I sort of agree, but pretty much everyone who was alone most of the time actually did pretty well for themselves. A lot of the friendlier people or ones that were close to a few people got murdered Hiyoko & Tenko post-bitch mode, Nekomaru, Gonta, Ibuki, Mahiru, Kiyotaka etc , while loners like Kokichi, Gundham, Nagito, Kyoko, Maki, Byakuya were either murderers themselves or lasted a long time. Rantaro and Ryoma jobbed hard though and I wish they didn't.

What about my sperm cell, huh?

So when she opened the door to the Tit Explosion or whatever and saw Mikan strangling the shit out of somebody, why didn't she immediately turn and run the other way, possibly to tell the others? Or did Mikan regaining her despair memories also give her ninja skills that let her punch Hiyoko's throat out of her body before she could even react?

Wasn't she having trouble with her kimono or something like that. Maybe I just made that up though, it's been a long time

gravel in the swimsuit was the only time I ever had to look up an answer

I had to look up an answer in chapter 3 of V3 because I hadn't played in a while and genuinely forgot lie bullets existed

Kurokuma was such a waste of a character, holy shit

yeah, she would've had to escape completely naked and even if it was, plus even if she was wearing it right it's not like she could run very fast in it. she was fucked the moment mikan caught her seeing the murder.

The trials are far and away the best part of the series. It's glaringly obvious that anything in the franchise without trials (the anime, UDG, the spinoff novels) are just complete trash.

Oh yeah that one got me too

Weren't a lot of 2's murders sympathetic too? Even the token unsympathetic third culprit comes off as more sympathetic than Celeste or Korekiyo because she had to get her brain directly fucked with before she murdered anybody.

Is there any hope of a DR4? I feel like you do and need more trials.

i think there 1 or 2 lines in debates i had to look up as well because the wording was fucked and i was choosing the similar one but different to the answer

It's kinda telling that they're the parts of the game that get fully voiced.

No, Someone that was on the team said that they rather do a Zanki Zero sequel than another DR game

Retard. The best part is the characters. The trials are hit or miss

Except for the vampire part, doesnt everyone

Cases 1 and 4 are the only definite "for the greater good" cases. Case 5 is also but is more "fuck remnants, all of you should die." Case 2 is arguably that if you consider that Peko was doing it to get Fuyuhiko out scot-free

I want Keiji to choke me out while he fucks my ass.

Danganronpa 0 and Ultra Despair Girls are great
The cast and writing makes Danganronpa good. There's as many dumpster fire Trials as great ones. UDG is far from flawless but it has probably the strongest cast in the series, since there's only a handful of major characters to focus on and the game being fully voice acted with performances at least as good as DR2's really helps sell it the whole way through.

No, it seems like a bad deal. Correct me if I don't know the lore, but it's a TV show. They want it to last a full season, and monokuma's always fucking with things to make murders happen. I assume no killer ever wins, so you're either dead by murder or dead by execution unless you're one of the lucky few who survives to the end somehow. And I'm not protagonist material so that just makes my odds even worse.

>No
That sucks, but I guess V3 was a fine ending point if that's how it has to be

Right obviously.

Mahiru would unironically be one of the most valuable Ultimate Despairs by spreading pictures of their atrocities through the media and the internet. Could have easily had her been the one who blew the lid off the Kamakura project in the first place.

Reminder that we've never seen Gin's neck. Reminder that there's only one person we know was on the first floor who Miley could be talking to

Loli hitler brings in despair that makes junko look like a joke deciding not to break the switch of despair was kino

All of the new characters that get introduced in UDG and 0 are insufferable. The only ones that come out any good are the ones returning from previous games, and even then, they mostly don't get a lot to do.

>Dispose of the body in a way that nobody can find it
This would be more difficult than you're imagining, considering most of the games' settings

Everybody would realize the person is missing and look for them, and if by chance they couldn't find them they'd eventually smell the body decaying. AND there is a very high chance that Monokuma would "accidentally" give them a hint as to where to look.

You have to remember that Monokuma can and will break the rules so that the game continues.

If has an official translation, even

Literally any remnant of the body can be used to trigger a BDA- there was nothing but blood left of Kokichi

yeah but then just bring it back out somewhere after the evidence has likely gone away

I think he means DESTROYING the body, as in tossing it in the incinerator or the ocean or whatever

best: EVIL LUCK (if it wasn't on nagito)

worst: EVIL RICH KID or EVIL FASHION (if it wasn't combined with analyst and despair)

Oh, well in that case yeah he's right

He would have gotten away with murder, but because there was no trial or chance to avoid being the blackened he would still be stuck in the game I guess

that would suck

Byakuya isn't just rich, his family controls the governments of every nation. He could have spread despair worldwide if he wanted to.

What Your Turn to Die improved over Danganronpa

1. Some choices do matter and remaining participants depend on you.
2. You actually play a female protag entire game
3. It doesnt just use same age highschoolers but also adults and underage kids
4. Add more villains than just a single thot

Bad shit
1. All mini games are too easy and feel like stolen from Danganronpa or Undertale. Some of them appear only once(interrogation) and it make it look like they were just throwing things there randomly
2. A lot of sci-fi tropes. It will make the twist even dumber than Zero escape, Ever17 or Danganronpa because they might use time travel, simulation or whatever because apparently AI with emotions and human like robot dolls are already a normal thing in a story which pretty much also make clones canon
3. No free time or any shipping with anyone. The game is also too short. Its basically like if Danganronpa had 3 chapters

But he is the dumb Akane waste of space character. He and Gin are safe

Nobody fucking cares. This is a Danganronpa thread, stop shilling your shitty game you fucking retard

>I DON'T LIKE THE CHARACTERS
wow, great argument

The only major returning characters in UDG are Toko, half of the main pair, and Nagito, who is easily the weakest performance in the main cast. Both of them do plenty, in fact their conspiracy is the whole reason Komaru stay alive and involved with the whole mess in Towa City.
DR0 has a pretty minimalist cast, I can't imagine who you'd find offensively bad in it. The Secret Agent is just a more restrained Teruteru, the Neurologist doesn't really have a lot going on but he's hugely important to the greater scope of the plot, the one villain is pretty stupid I guess, but aside from that the only relevant characters left are Mukuro, Junko, Mukuro as Junko, and Junko as the main character.

He has the most connection to the orphanage, other either don't know or too young to remember.

Oh i forgot one improvement

5. If a character had a progress arc or was saved by someones, he doesn't get a plot armor. So basically Himiko after Tenko arc, Akane after Nekomaru sacrifice or Asahina after Sakura sacrifice could still die in this game

Nobody cares
this is a Danganronpa thread

Please seethe more, cumbrain

>You actually play a female protag (for the) entire game
Why exactly is that an improvement over Danganronpa? Did you only buy V3 for the "female protagonist" tag or something?

not him but it would've been fresh to play from a female pov imo

Because Kodaka is a hack who can't write any other protag than a male for self insertion

Yeah, I like Toko, and Nagito was fine for the small part he does in getting Komaru and Sho to fight. Byakuya does basically nothing.
DR0 has Naegi and Kirigiri show up briefly to do nothing. I hate everyone else. Ryoko is whiny and obessed with someone who does nothing but insult her, and the secret agent is a one-joke character where the joke wasn't even funny.
I didn't need the mind erase plot device explained. The games acknowledged that it was a lazy plot device and deliberately didn't overexplain it. Shirokuma and Kurokuma don't actually bridge any gap between DR1 and DR2, they just add an extra step.

Komaru is literally the best protag this franchise ever had though

Q IS THE MASTERMIND

HIS MOTIVES ARE COMPLEX INDEED

SNAIL? LIFE IS TRULY UNFAIR

3-1 is a terrible trial from a gameplay perspective, it directly lies to the player.
Every trial except for 2 can be solved during the investigations, but the circumstances are different than straight up lying to the player.

1-5 doesn't lie to the player, it lies to the characters. Investigation basically reveals none of the 6 could have done it, so even without metagaming this one was obvious it was rigged.
2-5 didn't lie at all, it just withheld information. Withholding information is nothing for the series as new points come up during trials all the time as characters other than MC reveal info they forgot or didn't see how they connect to the case, which makes perfect sense.

These 2 trials are unsolvable during investigation, but they never break game rules or mechanics to lie to the player.

Phenoix Wright is the grandfather of Danganronpa series. Its pretty much mostly "refute statement using evidence" and "point out the wrong thing on a picture" in most chapters. Danganronpa just borrowed ideas from it and from Zero escape games

How does it directly lie?

Nobody gives a shit. DR is dead so there's no reason to bring up some random unknown shit for free internet points.

Yeah i never liked how 3-1 pretty much cheat to surprise the player. Not suddenly changes the rules about protag not being a murderer by default, but also make your protag an unreliable narrator. Its weird to see "Kaede's thoughts" when she describe objects around her or her thought about characters, but we don't hear her desires and plans.

No one give a shit about you or your comments.

meant for and

Well you do since you were kind enough to respond back

How does 2-5 withhold information? The only thing that can't be deduced from the evidence is the culprit and that's the whole point, it's a double-blind random murder. Even then you're walked through Nagito's apparent motivation and given the information to determine what he wanted the outcome to be, and therefore how his Luck would have (probably) acted on the result.
I don't think it counts as "withholding information" from the player if nobody could have possibly known that information. Nagito could have even obfuscated it from Monokuma if he had a reason to do so and Monokuma wasn't already omniscient at that point.

Fuck off back to TV tropes faggot

Kaede says "dropped what i was doing and ran after Shuichi"
what she actually did was drop a shot put ball into a vent where it rolled down into the basement, into the library and down a slope of books she set up earlier that we werent notified of to kill some jobber. by not letting us know that the character we were controlling was doing shit the game is directly lying.

>I put everything into my backpack
becomes
>I put the murder weapon into my backpack

>I put everything I was holding down
becomes
>I placed the ball into the grate and rolled it

We hear the MC's thoughts and are explained clearly what they are all the time yet this one we never once hear Kaede talking about this plan to us.
DR has never had an unreliable narrator.

Maybe it's a translation issue too, but the fact remains that you were lied to about your own characters actions.


Withholding information in the plot sense, not the game investigation sense. You can easily solve Nagito set everything up, and essentially set up a suicide-esque situation, but the idea that Nagito was after the traitor for this trial specifically(because he knew everyone else was Despair remnants) and that he relied on his luck to get them was vital information you didn't have at the start which would have led you to the blackened.
This counts as withholding info because every other case can be solved beforehand through logic and deduction, this goes against that, but doesn't lie to do so, which is why it's still good.

Oh, I thought you were referring to the trial itself

I thought the whole point of hiding Junko's face in each photo was that they didn't look like each other

they're fraternal twins, but they still look alike. the most noticable difference is Junko's boobs

But then you'd either die when they can't figure it out or have to keep playing with a target on your back.

The Japanifornia localization is the heart of the series. It wouldn't be nearly as fun without the dumb name puns.

Ultimate sounds snappier and cooler to say, though SHSL is more accurate to the actual meaning

Super duper evokes the assonance of chou-kou-kou, level is somewhat redundant.
Super level is a direct translation, sounds less silly to some.
Ultimate is the most direct, but somewhat bland and removing high school from the title gave us Lil Ultimate

>DR has never had an unreliable narrator.
I don't really consider this a valid criticism since a lot of DR's identity has been about subverting the player's expectations based on re-used elements.

Also not a fan of 3-1. I didn't like it for the same reasons I didn't like Spec Ops, because you do something unknowingly and then the game says "oh look you killed someone, now feel bad" which just pisses me off. At least in that though your character doesn't do something which the game then hides from you like Kaede does.

Subverting without lying you mean

Kokichi is not a well-written character. Most of his actions don't make sense and are purely used as an excuse to move the plot forward.

Why was V3 so fucking terrible? Not even talking about the catastrophic ending, but the fucking BLOAT. Everything took about twice as long as it should. It got boring and the game was a lot more predictable than the previous 2 games. I really think Kodaka lost his mind a bit and wanted to spite his fanbase.

Imagine unironically thinking the game lied to you. Kaede was acting reasonable and everything was fine, you retard.

Subversion is subversion, the trick is that the player character has never been the killer.
There's no reason to hold a grudge towards the game over it

V3 is the best in the series and it is great.

>>Jill reacts to Junko like she has no idea who she is
When does this happen?

If you mean 1-1 is too high, it's basic and requires no effort to solve but the actual twist and aftermath are really solid. It's a good setup for a tutorial case, it's just too easy (for anyone who can read Roman script)
If you mean 3-1 is too low, I take issue with the twist relying on just lying to the player instead of being genuinely developed like 1-1 and 2-1's were. I also think Kaede's plot was implausible, I don't really buy that she could have set up the ramp as depicted without Shuichi becoming suspicious for how long it should have taken her, and part of the murder relied on the music drowning out the sound of the ball rolling through the vents and alerting anyone nearby (including the Mastermind), which she had no way of knowing beforehand would happen. Her PTA feels like she's just irrationally flying off the handle, forced in because it has to be part of every trial (which isn't a new problem in the series) and the impact of her execution scene is really undercut by the Monokubs getting involved and even having wacky reaction dialogue right afterward that really kills the mood.

TL;DR 2-1 was basically the perfect regular Trial especially as an introductory case and they should have taken notes on it going forward.

Lol sure little buddy

When they're asking Jill to confirm if the apocalypse Junko is showing is real, Jill goes WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to Junko who replies with "Oh, I'm the mastermind".

There's no lying. This isn't like Heavy Rain where you overtly see Kaede think things that completely contradict the plot. It's just omitting critical information. Even still, there's a ton of foreshadowing, mostly in how much attention/CG's are in a few events.

It's bad design. The game decided to take importance of plot over the games structure and mechanics.
It's a bad twist because it comes out of nowhere
>I dropped everything I was holding
and pretends that the shock factor makes up for the bad writing.

The whole concept of the game is to solve the trials using what you learned during investigation and have the suspects in mind so you don't get lost during the trial itself. DR has never had smart writing, but this was just trash.

the fuck why isn't this brought up more often when criticizing DR1

>Implying she would've thought about the sound of the ball.
This is only relevant because Kaito was desperately trying to defend her. Pretty sure Kaede was also surprised by him mentioning that.
>Shuichi becoming suspicious
She literally said she'd be arranging shit to try and clear space, and it took a while. So what?
>PTA
This is just to show how selfless she is. She just straight up did not want her crime to be justified, she saw herself as a terrible person and kept that burden for herself.
>>Kaede mentioning she loves Rube Goldberg machines
I think she straight up says that "this will work, like a Rube Goldberg machine".
>>Kaede's first thought when finding Rantaro being "so he was the mastermind?"
This is another really good hint, she was wondering why Rantaro was dead. Another thing was during the bit where Monokuma told the blackened to raise their hand. Kaede's thoughts were "..." instead of something like "Why is nobody raising their hand?" It was a conscious choice to be showing her thoughts during that time.

cumbrainlet...

>comes out of nowhere
>Literally preceded by "Who could've set up the camera"
It was used well. Everything she said was not contradictory and you're pissing your pants over nothing.

It's not bad design at all, the narrative of the game IS the core. Leading the player along a murder mystery story with surprises is the franchise's priority.
Subverting the trope of having the player never be the murderer also works on two levels since it subverts the precedent set regarding how the game is played mechanically. This is more of a good thing than a bad thing.

>The whole concept of the game is to solve the trials
Not to mention that you do still solve the trial through the same methods, for the most part the game's structure and mechanics are identical. The only difference is that you the player got duped, which isn't inherently a bad thing let alone "bad design"

I actually like the ambiguity of drv3, it lets people get really autistic with theories

The English voice acting really dropped the ball on this personality. It's supposed to be "too cool to care about you", not "apathetic and bored"

I don't fucking get this this lying to the player meme. If you wanted to keep the twist surprising they had to make it so that you weren't explicitly shown her actions right? They still gave hints like making the ramp and taking the metal ball, so they didn't just pull it out of their ass. 3-1 was great

Are you dumb? Millions of people look up to and want to be those kinds of people.

Worst would probably be Ultimate despair Entomologist (Gonta)

>Implying spreading deadly insects and ones with disease to cause chaos is useless.
Small brain.

>That part at the end of the trial where you find out who it is, but also find out why they did what they did.
>You try to lie to steer the trial in another direction
>Kaito himself tells you to throw in the towel, admitting defeat
I don't know why but that part got to me.

>Leading the player along a murder mystery story with surprises is the franchise's priority.
If a story has to deliberately mislead the reader to surprise them it's not well-written. Even if there's plenty of entrende to clue the player in on Kaede's actions in hindsight nobody is going to suspect her because they are operating on the default principle of "I've been following this person's thoughts and actions and never once was I told they were planning to kill anyone." If the reader cannot trust the narrative then the story is no longer a mystery, the reader is just being yanked along for the ride.

V3's foundation is lies. It's absolutely possible to build a compelling story around that theme without resorting to playing "gotcha!" with the reader. V3's problem, if you see it as one, is that it goes in so deep with the elements of confusion and nonsense that there is no answer to be found at the end of the road. When you introduce stuff like plot devices that can just rewrite memories and entire personalities at will it's completely impossible to draw any real conclusions about anything. It's not a mystery story, it's weird detective-themed pulp sci-fi. The ending is the best part by far because the story finally crawls out of its own ass and has Shuichi say "this is just a steaming pile of bullshit and I'm not dealing with it anymore." I guess arriving at that that was worth a whole game's worth of nonsense for some people, but I think it also benefited a lot from the same phenomenon Undertale and DDLC did where it was people's first taste of a certain flavor of metafiction and blew their mind.

TL;DR if you like V3 and also like coherent stories with actual resolutions just read Umineko.

Kaito tanked it because he was dead anyway (and so Maki didn't become the blackened), that was the whole point. He just wanted Monokuma to think it was him regardless of who it really was.

>nobody is going to suspect her
i did

Danganronpa was made for cumbrains who only care about waifus and fapping 24/7. Even the main villain is a slutty thot.

999 and Your Turn to Die was meant for thinkers who care about story and characters.

Change my mind.

>deliberately mislead
Literally all it did was not tell you she straight up the murderer. It didn't lie about what she was doing, it didn't try making you believe she wasn't the murderer. You've got to figure that out on your own. Imagine getting pissed that the game treats it's characters like characters and not a self-insert.

>nobody is going to suspect her because they are operating on the default principle
This isn't the game's fault. Also players who understand what Danganronpa is about SHOULD be operating on the default principle that the game is out to surprise you no matter what.

muh Ronald Knox 10 commandments don't apply to literally every mystery story, especially if it's a game that utilizes the player perspective in an interesting way while also being from a franchise that goes out of its way to surprise the player.

Boy you'd fucking hate Zero Escape.

I don't get it?

It implies that Mikan has hooked up with a lot of people, enough to make Miu flustered.

Miu is a cumbrain and also a genius.
How does that work?

>It's not really a mystery, it's weird pulp sci-fi

You might wanna check what series you're playing

Even with the hate, I legitimately feel like every trial in v3 (other than trial 2) was amazing just for how meta breaking it was for the ideas and trends Danganronpa has had through the whole series
>Trial 1 killing off the main character, and making the mystery boy completely irrelevant
>Trial 3 not just being another bad 3rd Trial in the series, but a so bad its good one (probably not on purpose though)
>Trial 4 legitimately spoiling itself before its even close to ending
>Trial 5 being enough of a mystery that the mastermind didn't even know who killed who
>Trial 6
If v3 is where danganronpa truly ends, I feel like it left off on a pretty interesting note, i like it

>and making the mystery boy completely irrelevant
every DR game did this

>every trial in v3 (other than trial 2) was amazing
Didn't mean for this to sound like i hate trial 2, it just doesn't really have anything groundbreaking for a trial

I agree user. They do border on 'it's shit on purpose!' territory but I think what they do is special enough for me to greatly appreciate them.

>Kirumi runs away from her execution
Pretty funny.

>every DR game did this
Kirigiri and Hinata were super relevant in their games, what are you talking about?

I dont wanna sound like a cumbrain but these are some big knockers on Kaede

I'd kill billions just for Celeste to sit on my face.

Detective Shuichi solving the mystery of what's under Kaede's pumpkin.

I guess if you specifically mean the Ultimate ???
But Byakuya was hyped up as a big mystery and he was completely irrelevant by dying right away. Maizono was also written as if she was going to be a really important and relevant character and then she dies.

It has a cool reveal with ryoma dead in the tank as part of the magic show. Then the more you deduce it the angrier you get at kirumi for wasting your time by leaving a shit load of clues all related to her getting him into the tank in the first place, when she could've just left him in the bathroom. Her whole meltdown pissed me off because it lead me to believe she thought shuichi as a borderline retard by giving him an obvious trail of clues then denying it to the point of dragging the trial for too long..

>Murder mystery with subversion and unexpected direction
That's the point, no matter what Kaito thinks, you can't trust anyone. Kokichi was in the right the whole time

The shit about the tragedy and spreading Despair is fucking stupid and over the top

I literally only care about kids being trapped in a school and having to kill each other

I wish Jap writers would just show some restraint

I know, I'm just saying it's hardly a unique selling point of V3.

>The shit about the tragedy and spreading Despair is fucking stupid and over the top
I think the point of this wasn't for you to believe the legitimacy of something like that occurring, it's more in line with letting the player relate to the characters having this unbelievably absurd bombshell dropped on them.
Their reactions are by far the meat of the twist

>Why is chapter 2 always the best? Why is chapter 3 always the worst?

1 is a tutorial.
2 is when there are still enough people left where the whodunnit is intriguing and non-obvious.
3 is when there aren't enough people left for a decent murder mystery, so the writers are obliged to think outside the box. The result is a hot mess.
4 is when the culprit would be obvious from process of elimination, so they have to set up some ridiculous abstract situation to be interesting

Ass punishment time?

I was sad. I spent a lot of free time with him and he seemed like a genuinely nice and knowledgeable guy behind his weird appearance.

This is why I didn't like him very much. Before then, he seemed like sort of a creep, but, besides his odd interest in seances and shit, was a relatively good person at heart. Then chapter 3 comes along like "no he's actually just a creep lol"

Character assassination desu, he was way more interesting before that. Tsumugi is a hack

I don't, because Kyoko is fine

dr2 waifus are all fine except chiaki

Holy fuck, same

One thing Your Turn to Die does worse is it keeps throwing braindead easy puzzles at you. Like, a locked door. And the clue to unlock it is written under the doorknob. And the clue is "enter the number of kids who can drink." Wow, what a brain tickler. I'd rather have a VN that cuts out this meaningless shit. Your Turn to Die's focus on variety is admirable, but a lot of it comes off as inconsistent.

When this game's honeymoon phase ends, people are going to realize its discussion mode is just as linear as Ace Attorney and DR, and kind of sloppy at points.
